Chapter 222 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 222

The chapter begins with the protagonist being carried in a carrier by Field Exploration Team employees as they flee the broadcasting station to contain a catastrophic supernatural incident: the fatal spread of a ghost story. The protagonist realizes that the 'Man in the Screen' has been stimulated. Kang Yihak contact the PBS Variety Department PD to urgently warn them to quarantine and delete all video editing files ending in the number 6 to prevent the entity from spreading further through cloud storage and digital media. The PD is panicked, reporting that several staff members are unreachable and one has sent chilling, nonsensical messages. The Field Exploration Team, including Lee Seonghae and Kang Yihak, travels to an officetel to investigate a missing assistant director. Upon arrival, they find the assistant director dead—eyes gouged out—in a room where a computer monitor has been crushed by a large black beast's paw. The Sergeant, having donned specialized gear, suggests a witness escaped from the house. While Kang Yihak suggests leaving before the police arrive to avoid complications, the group is interrupted by a call from Director Cheong. Through a tense conversation, the protagonist uses smoke to ask the Sergeant and Director Cheong if this ghost story was previously owned by Daydream Inc. Director Cheong confirms that the company intentionally released the 'disposed' ghost story back into the public to restore its supernatural presence, allowing for the collection of Dream Essence through recycling. She reveals that Daydream Inc. has no intention of using company resources to clean up the resulting civilian commotion, instead opting to let the government-funded Disaster Management Bureau handle the cleanup. This allows the company to keep the original version of the ghost story while the public disaster is officially terminated. The chapter ends as the sound of a bell signals the imminent arrival of the Disaster Management Bureau.
